Biography[]
Brian Savage grew up in the mid-19th century. As a child, he was stolen by members of the Kiowa Native American tribe who dubbed him Ke-Woh-No Tay ("He Who Is Less Than Human"). As an adult, Brian adopted the customs and appearance of a member of the Kiowa tribe and became an accomplished knife fighter and gunman. As a hero of the frontier, he became known as Scalphunter. As he grew older, he settled down in Opal City and became the town sheriff. It is unknown when or how Scalphunter died, but his spirit was reincarnated in the modern era in the form of Opal City police officer Matt O'Dare.
